Finally a new pattern! I have to say I love Scraggy, his tough attitude and cute clumsiness! I hope you guys have fun making him, the plush is fairly big, a little over a foot tall. I've been working on it off and on for a while and finally had some time to get it done. I was stuck on an idea for how to do the tail and kept putting it off, it turned out to be my favorite part ^_^ Pattern after the jump.
Read pattern carefully before
starting, particularly the instructions at the beginning of the pattern. Let me know if you find any errors or problems! If you have any questions or anything feel free to comment!
More pictures at the end of the pattern for reference.
Materials:
* Light yellow worsted yarn (I used Red heart ‘Cornmeal’)
*Gold/darker yellow worsted yarn (I used Red heart, I think
the color is called ‘gold’)
*Small amount of burgundy or dark red worsted yarn
*small amount of white worsted yarn
*Small amount of black worsted yarn
*Large yarn needle for sewing pieces together
*Fiberfill/stuffing
*A chopstick or similar object is helpful when stuffing
small objects, not required
*G hook and F hook
*Straight pins for pining
pieces on before sewing them on
*Optional: beans, rice, or
plastic beads & pantyhose (for weight, more info after body pattern)
Note: there is no gauge for this pattern. The only thing that is important is
that you have a tight stitch when crocheting so that no stuffing will show
through the finished pieces. If you use the recommended hooks it should be fine
but if you are someone who crochets more loosely you may want to reduce the
hook size accordingly.
This pattern is worked in rounds
(unless otherwise noted) and uses the following techniques/abbreviations:
Sc- single crochet
Dc: double crochet
Hdc: half double crochet
inc- increase
dec- decrease, particularly you should use the invisible decrease if you
know how to do it
sc in each sc- single crochet in each single crochet, don't add any increases or
decreases
R- round or row
Blo- crochet in back loops only
FLO- crochet in front loops only
Repeat (*)- repeat what is between the asterisks * until you come to the end of
the round, unless otherwise indicated
ring- magic ring. If you cannot do this technique then you may substitute
this: ch 2 and sc however many were supposed to go in the ring into the second
ch. However this will leave a small hole in the piece, this is why the magic
ring is preferred, it leaves no visible hole. Many tutorials on how to do the
magic ring are available online.
The numbers in parenthesis at the
end of each row are the number of stitches you should have when that row is
done. Mark the start of each round with a marker and move this marker as you
complete rows.
IMPORTANT NOTE!
All pieces (unless otherwise
indicated) are worked with TWO
strands of yarn together. You may do this by taking the strand on the outside
of the skien and the one which comes from the inside of the skien together.
Crochet with two strands the same way you would crochet if you had only one.
This will yield a bigger plush faster and with less effort than crocheting with
only one strand. This pattern has not been tested for only one strand and
pieces such as the eyes would need to be adjusted for size on your own.
All pieces are made with G hook unless otherwise indicated.
Pattern
Body (make in light yellow)
Note
about body: Be sure to stuff as you go. In my plush I added weight to the
bottom to make sure he’d sit up nicely (the head can be a bit heavy and put it
off balance). If you’d like to add weight to your plush you need something like
dried beans, rice, or plastic beads (they sell these at most craft stores, look
for them to be called poly pellets or plastic doll weights, something like
that. They can be found online too). Take a cheap nylon/pantyhose leg and fill
it with beans/weights. Once you have enough, knot the nylon tightly and put the
weight into your plush. Then stuff with polyfill/stuffing and your plush should
sit up on it’s own!

Eye (make

Work in
rounds
R1: chain 8, inc in 2nd sc from hook. Sc in each sc until end
of ch. Sc 3 sc into the end of chain, continue around other side. Sc in each sc
until last sc (the one with 2 sc in it already.) Put another sc into last sc
and mark round.
R2-4: From now on put 3 sc into the sc at the top and the sc at the
bottom of the oval each round. Sc in all others (the sc along the sides). Use
your best judgment, the sc at the top may not always be the one right after the
end of the round.
R5: sc in each sc all around, slip stitch to join.
Leave long tail for sewing.
Take 1 strand of black and F hook and chain 12, join into a loop with a
slip stitch. Use this for the iris, sew it to the white.
Assembly (just general
instructions, you can do it however you like) be sure to pin things on first to
get it looking how you want!
1. Sew head to neck/body. Just before head is
completely sewed on, add more stuffing to make the neck very firm so it can
hold up the head.
2. Embroider patch, sew to belly.
3. Sew arms to body
4. Sew ‘pants’ to body, sew around the top and
sew the bottom to the bottom of the body. You can stitch it to the body in a
few other places to keep the wrinkles in place.
5. Sew tail to ‘pants’. Make sure you sew through
to attach it to the body, not just the pants.
6. Sew feet to bottom, not just to the pants!
7. Sew thing on top of head
8. Embroider eyes and mouth and sew on face
You can
sew the hands to the ‘pants’ to make it look like he’s holding them up if you
want.
Yay another pattern!!!!!!!!!!!! What's next one? ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm glad I was finally able to get it finished! I was working on Scraggy and another Unova Pokemon simultaneously but got diverted when I got the idea to make Sparky from Frankenweenie. Right now I'm going to work on finishing the next Pokemon pattern, starting another new one (not Pokemon), and making a few patterns for Christmas presents. So I'll be pretty busy, hope to have something soon but it takes me a while to get a full pattern out! The next Pokemon pattern is a secret, just incase I can't finish it (which has happened to me before lol!). Wish me luck! ^_^
DeleteOMG i love your patterns and was wondering if you could make a Celebi (also a pokemon) because i would love to have the pattern and if your scraggy looks like this your Celebi would be AMAZING
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I'm a little too busy with other projects and Christmas presents to take requests but you can find a Celebi pattern here: http://shedko247.wordpress.com/2011/08/15/celebi/
DeleteShe has lots of other great patterns too, I really love her Axew!
Maybe something is wrong on rows 24 and 25 of the head... Something didn't add up for me 18 instead of 12 in the last couple rows...
ReplyDeleteYou're right, thanks for catching that! I'll fix the pattern
DeleteScraggy is kinda cute! Awesome pattern!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I love your patterns and once I know how to crochet I will do them all! Bwahahahaha! An army of Pokemon Plushies!
Thanks so much! Good luck making your army! ^_^
DeleteWell thank YOU for the patterns! I can now crochet hurrah! Is this one fairly easy?
DeleteThat largely depends on how familiar you are with the general concepts of plush making. If you are comfortable with crocheting in the round and sewing parts together/assembling then this isn't too bad of a pattern. I would say it's just barely intermediate as the tail is a little strange to make. But there aren't many small pieces and not too much sewing so not too bad overall! Enjoy!
DeleteSigh! I wish someone would do a free Abra pattern! This is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love the pattern, but i wish i could fine a cute and easy Pikachu pattern. Do you think you can make one? He is my favorite pokemon.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like the pattern! I can refer you to wolfdreamer's pikachu pattern, it's very cute! I made it myself as well, I think I used either 2 or 3 strands held together and it made an almost life size one! If you want to make it even cuter try crocheting your own eyes by making a big black circle with a smaller white circle then sew them together, hope that helps!

I'm making Scraggy as a present for someone. I'm up to Round 18 of the body and a little confused. If I repeat between the astericks there will only be 6 sc left and 39 stitches in total. So should I only decrease twice to be left with 40? And if yes, does it matter where in the round I decrease?
ReplyDeleteThank you
Thanks for the question, sorry about the typo! That round should read *sc 19, dec* for a total of 40, hope that helps!
DeleteHi Kim, thanks for that. I'm now on the pants and have just completed round 11. Do I just do those nine stitches and fasten off or do I repeat it for the whole round or is it one round of each of the stitches?
DeleteThanks again

DeleteThanks again
Just do those nine stitches and fasten off, that's all! ^_^
DeleteCool, thank you

ReplyDeleteWould you possible have a pattern for a Scraggy hat?
ReplyDeleteI decided to make mine a shiny since I actually hatched one in game a couple weeks ago. Because he's too big to fit on the shelf where I normally put my crocheted plushies, I decided to let my scraggy sleep on my bed with me, which turned out to be a mistake because the light from outside illuminates him enough that all I can see are these huge bug eyes just staring at me while I sleep. XD
ReplyDeleteI love everything about this comment XD congrats on the shiny hatch! I can totally imagine how creepy his eyes look in the dark lol!
